Day 60:
The day it changed for good
Ros had a pretty placid day today, not much to report, Started off at Motherlode Mine and then Mined sone Iron ore at the Mining Guild, she then completed the quest ''Sleeping Giants'' for access to the Giants Foundry and gained Smithing lvl 49, She then completed some commissions at the Giant Foundry mini game giving her lvl 59 Smithing, and Completed the quest that lost them both the first life a few weeks back; ''Rag and Bone Man 1'' giving her cooking XP and Prayer XP taking Ros to lvl 29 Prayer.
Nomadics had a much more eventful day. He started off by completing a Cockatrice slayer task giving him lvl 36 Slayer, then he completed 2 Medium clues giving him a Zamorak page 2, a Mithril Kiteshield (G), an Amulet of Power, an Adamant Plateskirt (T) and an Adamant Helm (H2). He then took himself off and completed the quests ''Merlins Crystal'' and ''The Holy Grail''.
Then he made a choice. Those familiar with the blog may remember this sentence from a previous blog page, and just like back then, this choice would lead to changes that can't be undone. Nomadics lost the last life. It was an extremely unfortunate turn of events for him, and as Ros knows, it sticks with you, you think about all the things you could have done differently and things you wish you could change, but the reality of it is, this is probably one of the best things that could have happened. Lets dive into the how's before I tell you why it's such a good thing.
Nomadics had started the quest ''The Fremennik Isles'' and he got the entire way through it, well almost, it was at the very end, while running through Ice Trolls, he took some damage that had stacked, unfortunately this had stacked to 45 in a matter of seconds and Nomadics just didn't have a chance, he could not eat enough food, quick enough, to get him through it. The kicker, he was only mere steps away from a safe point where the Trolls would have stopped their attack, he would have been safe, but unfortunately this did end the Hardcore status of the accounts taking them both to Ironman.

Now, why is this such a good thing? Ros was having a hard time with that remaining life, it was so stressful to her that she did not want to remotely risk it, hence why there has been very little in the way of updates from her side of the challenge recently, and now that there is less of a strain with the lives mechanic of Hardcore, the game has really opened up to the pair of them, all of the other restrictions are still in place being an Ironman, so nothing much really changes for them in that regard, but the looming life counter isn't on them so much any more.
After such a traumatic event, Nomadics picked himself up and dusted himself off and managed to complete the quest, receiving the Neizinot Helm and giving him 62 Hit points as well as lvl 49 Construction. He then wrapped it up by training Defence to lvl 55 so that he could wear his new Helm.

With the loss of the last life, this does mean we are among those crossed off of the Hardcore Ironman Leaderboard. Ros couldn't be more proud of their end Ranking far exceeding their goal and maybe one day, beating themselves, who knows, but for now, we join the ranks of the Group Ironman Leaderboard and it'll be interesting to see how far we can climb that one.

Day 61:
The next day
It was a slow day again for Ros in some respects, she got a fair bit done, but theres not too much to say about it as a lot of it contained questing. She started off by completing one of her Easy Morytania tasks, and in doing so, getting herself lvl 30 Prayer. She then went off and completed the quest ''Animal Magnetism'' which gave her lvl 28 Slayer. She then completed ''The Ascent of Arceuus'' and ''Cold War'' giving her lvl 41 Construction, and lvl 45 Crafting. She then did a SLayer task where she had to seek her revenge on those Cave Crawlers that had previously tore the first life away from her in Hardcore status, and in completing this she received lvl 29 SLayer, lvl 35 Attack, lvl 39 Strength, and lvl 46 Combat.
Nomadics also had a bit of a questing grind today, he completed ''Wanted'' for 5,000 slayer XP putting him at lvl 38 SLayer, and ''Sea Slug Menace'' unlocking the Proselyte armour for Prayer bonus. He then killed Twisted Banshees for Ranged XP and hoped to gain a Hard Clue, he took himself from lvl 54 - lvl 60 Ranged, and managed to get 63 Hit Points, but unfortunately did not receive a clue, he did however make around 250k Gold from that grind. He then completed the quest ''Hand in the sand'' getting lvl 56 Crafting, and then went on to complete the Lumbridge & Draynor as well as Kandarin Easy Diaries and received lvl 51 Herblore from the XP Lamps he was rewarded. He then finished up the day training Strength to lvl 64 on the Sand Crabs.

He then threw them at Temple Spiders for lvl 62 Ranged and 64 Hit points giving him 7 grubby keys from 254 kills which will allow him to open the grubby chests, and a hard clue of which he needs to complete the quest ''Cabin Fever'' for the 2nd step.
